Is anyone seeing some weird behaviour on their Fold 3 where apps' backgrounds turn grey instead of black? For example, in Youtube, Flipboard and Google News. I'm using dark mode and seeing this behavious consistently. If I quit the app and re-start, it reverts to all black.
Edit: samples attached. I think I've narrowed it down to navigating with a bluetooth keyboard (why on earth that causes this...?
Try clearing the system cache.

*edit: added a video on youtube so you can better see it in action without having to read my ridiculously long and rambling explanation below. I tried clearing gallery app data, and that made the yellow tint appear more slowly, but didn't go away.
==========
I just started to get this weird somewhat random yellow tint in the google gallery app... it just started a few minutes ago. I've never had any problems with it before. I've had the phone for 4 weeks. This is just bizzarre!!! I've always used the stock gallery app to view photos and attach them to emails etc... no new apps installed today... however I was playing around with nova launcher and widgetsoid, but not really messing with system settings or anything...
Sometimes when swiping through photos is a gallery folder, they will all be yellowish, but when I swipe the first photo to the left (i.e. no photos to the left of the first, so you get the blue gradient telling you that you are at the end), the yellow tint will disappear.
When the list of thumbnail gallery folders are first loading, as the screen refreshes, the yellow tint is not there at first but then it appears... sometimes in different configurations... some folder thumbnails not yellowed, and others are, and some only have the folder name text yellowed.
Stock 4.0.2, rooted.
I have read some threads about yellow tints to the screen but this is completely different, it seems. As it selectively chooses content to be yellow...
Thumbnails attached... one photo in the normal and yellow screen version, and 3 screenshots of my gallery app main folder with far left normal, and then two different yellow versions of the screen...
also, swiping left and right in a gallery folder has different yellowing effects... swiping left (to scroll right) leaves the lower right corner folder un-yellowed, swiping right (to scroll left) leaves the lower left corner folder thumbnail un-yellowed... --- see attached photo comparison.. and these are screenshots not photos of the phone, so maybe that says something about what is going on maybe, that the screenshot captures the yellow tint..
Any ideas??? help!?!?!
I'd like to try and delete the gallery app and reinstall it, but not sure how best to go about that... it really seems like a software issue, and isolated to the gallery app.
PS: sorry if I broke any forum rules, but I posted a thread on phandroid too, to see if anyone there has any ideas too...
sorry to bump... I think this is an interesting and unique issue... anyone having something similar or ideas on how to approach solving?
- i've tried playing with developer and screen settings, deleting gallery app cache, killing all background processes, to no avail...
*watch the video to see the issue in action...
try a factory reset, if it still does it then it a bad phone and contact samsung
[solved] chainfire3d nightmode issue
So the color of the tint was 'amber'; this was my choice for chainfire3d nightmode, which was enabled and "on". However, nightmode seems to not work on the stock rom, except that it affects the gallery app in this way. I changed the nightmode color to blue and lo and behold... the gallery tinting was blue!!
So I turned off nightmode from within the chainfire3d app and the issue seems to be gone.
Nightmode must have been enable sometime between the last time I used the gallery and then to when I first noticed the tinting.
I'm considering uninstalling chainfire3d driver, at least until I get a custom rom... but you know what they say... if it aint broke dont fix it!
Hope this helps anyone else, if they start experiencing the issue...
Have the same issue on CM9 Alpha 0.5 on HP Touchpad.
CF.Lumen and Night Mode does not work. It just make some thumbnails red in the Gallery App...
...this was intended to go on the chainfire app thread...
Hi everyone, I would like to know if we can come together to a conclusion of why the gallery app is so laggy! Its very striking that the gallery has serious problems while swiping through pictures or pitch to zoom, while in the Google+ app or the screenshots in the market the transitions are really smooth.
Any suggestion of why this is the case? Bad programming?
What gallery app are you guys using? I've tried quickpick but I don't like it either.
Gallery lag
I've noticed the lag too. The size of the photo doesn't matter. It lags even with small images.
I've found 3 more causes for lag:
1) The glow of the soft keys. If you have a custom rom and disable the glow of the buttons, the Home screen transitions when pressing a softkey will become smooth.
2) If you are in the Play Store and you are browsing an app with a long name (like PVSTAR+ (YouTube Music Player)) the scrolling would become stuttery.
3) System messages. If you get a system message (like "..." has been granted Superuser permission) everything would start to lag while the message lasts.
Those are really small things and I hope Google would fix them in a future update.
This has been an on-and-off issue I've been having with the recent apps preview screen. Sometimes, apparently at random, all the app previews show up as black rectangles. I can't seem to find any constant way to replicate this, but it's been persisting for many months' of patches.
The only app I use that's supposed to blank out its preview is Authy, but whether that's in my previews or not has no apparent effect.
I've enabled dark mode on my phone. And while scrolling through Instagram or any other app I can see that when the black region in the photo moves it leaves behind a blue/navy tint. The same is true when swiping the photos in gallery and other places as well. The issue doesn't occur when using the normal light mode. Are you guys also facing this issue?*
You won't get to see it directly. But then if you notice carefully you'll observe this. It occurs mainly when there's a change in colours while using dark mode. Like when there are images, checking for wallpapers on 3rd party apps, social media, etc. Do let me know about it.*
This is really bad news. I avoided the Galaxy A71 for this reason and with your comment I'm now seeing signs that that the Galaxy M51 has those same issues.
If anything I have to avoid grey import websites now because I want to be able to refund the phone if I encounter the same problem.

Update.
I went to the Samsung service center in Bangalore. They checked it out too and were like it's the first time someone reported this. And they couldn't do much about it. Also they showed me a few s9's and some other samsung devices with sAmoled displays and the same blue tint issue was there but a little less. So there's nothing to worry about. But I still kinda feel bad about it. Having to look at it all the time xD

There is, the fact that this issue appears on other phones doesn't make it any better for people who end up with a inferior looking display.
Especially considering that this is the most visible when using dark theme and displaying black in general and 100% black is why a lot of people go for OLED displays.
This actually makes me think I'd be better off with an LCD if AMOLED screens have issues with burn-in, color tint and smearing.
My m51 (brazilian one) have this blue tint thing, and also the screen didn't got calibrated very well, so the white seems to be a little green. So I calibrated it
Hi,
does anyone have the problem that dark mode doesn't work properly with some apps? For example light grey text on white background and other difficulties for reading? Can I fix this in settings somewhere?
Also, seems like some apps are displayed incorrectly with wrong formatting of text. Is this problem related to the other or does the phone have a weird aspect ration that some apps didn't consider?
Thanks in advance.
Yes. You can go and unselect apps individually from Dark mode settings
